Over the Edge
~ Poor Harry Potter. He started out in life as an orphan, then there's this wizard he knows as Lord Voldemort that is out to make him dead. Sure, he looks strong, and brave, but that's only on the outside. Harry's about to loose all sanity left in his mind, and those to suffer, are the students at Hogwarts. And only one person can do something to help, and that's Hermione.~
Silence, it was all around her, settling in her mind. Another late night in the common room, studying, alone with the fire of course. Hermione was indulged in her Charms textbook over one of the tables. There was an exam two weeks away, one she was fearing over nothing for.
Her mind startled when the portrait hole opened. So late at night, she had expected everyone to be asleep.
" Who's there?" Hermione whispered harshly.
" It's just me" Harry. He sounded exhausted and upset. She could tell from only three words.
" Oh, hello Harry" she greeted, closing the book, " where were you?".
He was trying to get away from her, " the bathroom".
Hermione rushed to block his path to the staircase, " for how long? I've been down here for awhile, I didn't hear you leave".
" That must have been it, good night".
She stopped him one last time for a friendly hug given on random occasions, " good night".
He quickly hugged her in return, then brushed past and went upstairs.
Foreshadowing Chapter Two- Why does Hermione wake in her bed the next morning with blood on her bed sheets?
Authors Note: It's short, yes, but that's why it's a teaser, for now and only now of course. Yes, I know, very many people cannot see Harry being the horrible person he will become in this story, but you'll see where he's coming from. Trust me, and give it a chance. Thanks!
